A Love for Food – an Intro to Ryan Cooks
Entertaining //
I love food, and I LOVE cooking. In fact, I may enjoy cooking more than actually eating! Ok, maybe not, but it’s a super close second. There is nothing better than sitting down to enjoy a nice dinner that you prepared. Just a moment ago it was baking in the oven, or roasting on the grill, and all your hard work has paid off. Taking the first bite, warm and juicy and full of flavor, it is pure heaven! If I didn’t love my job so much, I would probably become a chef, or at least own a food truck. Being in the kitchen is just so relaxing and fulfilling. Plus, it doesn’t hurt to have a super amazing, and smokin’ hot sous chef like Liz! :) Even better than cooking for yourself is being able to cook for family and friends, just make sure they are willing to try new recipes that you may be attempting for the very first time! Seeing and hearing their reaction after they take the first bite is so exciting. I like to think I am on Iron Chef America or Chopped (I definitely need to get a customized chef’s jacket), or any of the other great Food Network shows. Ok, so I probably still have a long way to go before Bobby Flay challenges me to a throw down, but a guy has got to have dreams right? :)
Unfortunately we can’t cook for everyone that reads our blog, but what we can do is show you how easy it actually is to cook a great meal. So we decided to create a new blog series called Ryan Cooks. A few times a month, we will be showcasing an AMAZING meal most likely from a recipe found in Food and Wine Magazine and every once in a while a Liz and Ryan Original. We will provide the recipe, step-by-step instructions, and some great pictures to help inspire you to become the next Top Chef. But most importantly, we will provide you with some inspiration and tips to that should help you become a better chef, have fun cooking, and live a more AMAZING life! Be sure to check back this afternoon for the very first installment of Ryan Cooks!
